Wed. & Sat. turned them loose on the third floor of the J olIity Building and left for Flor- ida with what remained of Boatrace Harry's money. Barney attributes the un usual size of the bugs in the Jollity Building today to the thoroughbred uut- cross. Morty was naturally quite angry with the Count at first, but after a few weeks began to miss him. "You have to hand it to him. He had a good idea all the same," M,orty says now. "The story about the roaches was in all the papers, and with that kind of publicity he could have gone far. A week after he left, a guy called up and asked for Mr. Bim- berg. I asked him what did he want, and he said he had read about Public Ballyhoo, Ltd., and he was in the market for some moths. So I told him, 'I haven't any moths, but if you'll come up here, I'll cut holes in your pants for nothing.' " The Count de Pennies must have convinced himself that he was a publicity man. When he reappeared in the J olJity Building after he had lost Boatrace Har- ry's money at Tropical Park, he got a job with a new night club as press agent. The place had one of those stages which roll out from under the bandstand be- fore the floor show starts. The Count decided he could get a story in the news- papers by sending for the police emer- gency squad on the pretext that one of the show girls had been caught under the sliding stage. The policemen arrived axes in hand and refused to be deterred by the Count's statement that there was no longer any need of them because he had personally rescued the girl. "You know very well that poor little girl is still under there! " the sergeant in charge roared reproachfully, and the coppers hilariously chopped the stage to bits. The Count lost his job. W HAT was perhaps the zenith of the Count's prosperity was reached during the brief life of the Litha- qua Mineral Water Company. Lithaqua was formed to exp] oit a spring on the land of a Lithuanian tobacco farmer in Connecticut. The water of the spring had a ghastly taste, and this induced the farmer to think it had therapeutic qual- ities. A druggist who was related to a murderess the Count had formerly man- aged organized a company to market the water. He gave the Count ten per cen t of the common stock to act as di- rector of publicity. The Count "sent out the wire," as fellows in the Jollity Building sometimes say when they mean that a promoter has had a third party act as go-between, to Johnny Attorney and Boatrace Harry.
